some highlights:

marc strives to have as little degree of introspection as possible

marc thinks nobody really had the desire (or maybe even the capacity) to introspect before 400 years ago

marc thinks guilt is a manufactured result of therapy wrongly asking the Great Men of History to reflect on consequence

marc thinks the thrust of history post enlightenment is, roughly, the story of “individuals” building empires, corporations, technologies

marc points at the history of therapy arising in europe in the 1910s-20s (specifically naming “Freud and that whole movement”) as the source of a “guilt based whammy” that convinces the individual to self-criticize
